Querétaro administrative and regional development

Overview

The state of Querétaro continues to advance its administrative, environmental, and infrastructure initiatives. Environmental efforts include the Morebús reforestation project, a Low Carbon Emission Seal involving 59 industries, and the ‘Explora Querétaro’ program. Managed by the Secretariat of the Environment, ‘Explora Querétaro’ promotes the conservation of protected natural areas through guided tours, such as excursions to ‘El Tlacuache’ in the Cañada Bolaños Protected Natural Area and Cerro de las Campanas National Park. The initiative has already hosted six excursions with over 460 participants to increase biodiversity awareness.

Public safety measures, such as the ‘Alerta Matías’ early warning system and the ‘Sinergia por Querétaro’ strategy, have contributed to a reported 36 percent reduction in homicides between 2024 and 2026. However, recent legislative debates have highlighted ongoing challenges. Deputy Arturo Maximiliano García Pérez criticized the state government’s results, specifically questioning the 7 billion peso cost of the Paseo 5 de Febrero project due to delays and defects, while noting persistent issues with water access and rising domestic and gender-based violence. Senator Agustín Dorantes Lámbarri also emphasized the need for greater efficiency in resource management regarding security, energy, and urban growth.

Regional development remains focused on a metropolitan strategy involving the mayors of Corregidora, Querétaro, Huimilpan, and El Marqués. Infrastructure projects, such as the Mexico-Querétaro passenger train, have reached 19 percent construction progress. Urban mobility was recently recognized with the 2026 Best Local Government Practices Award following a 304 million peso investment in the Integral Transportation System.
